If people are mainly just talking as a blocker, that's ok, but it kind of limits his ceiling in the NFL and makes it more predictable what the team will do if/when he's in.
If he ends up proving wrong then great, but he hasn't really trended that way yet through his almost 3 seasons out of college.

I don't think he'll be much more than a dump off pass type receiver and average blocker.

I was just saying in this offense at the current moment it's kind of hard to judge.

If Hurst is out for a while, we should be able to tell what he brings here.

I get that he was meh before but he's operating under different variables now.

Hell I'm not even sure if Hurst is the answer long term.

They need to draft or sign another TE in the off season even if he doesn't ask for too much money.
